Superior Beings (Nick Walters)

On the Back Cover:
Peri
hasn't been time-travelling for long and is just getting used to The Doctor and
the TARDIS. The Doctor's such a sweet, friendly guy and the TARDIS keeps
leaving her little presents, which is neat. When the TARDIS takes them to a
party of super-advanced humans on a pleasure-planetoid in the far future (even
neater!), Peri falls for the charms of the local hunk and finds herself flying
headlong into a quite different form of time-travel...
The
Valethske are hunters. They prefer human flesh to any other. They've been
sleeping for centuries and now they're hungry. The Doctor, teaming up with
shamed xenologist Aline Vehlmann, finds himself caught up in the machinations
of the vulpine hunters, and discovers that fresh meat isn't all they're
after...
For deep beneath the surface of a strange and beautiful
garden-planet, something is waiting. Something that Aline believes is her
destiny. Something for which the Valethske have been searching for centuries.
And as events escalate into a desperate fight for survival, who will prove
themselves the superior beings? |
